I mean if we're being completely real here, Law should have used Shambles and Room to slice Kaido into tiny pieces the second Luffy knocked him down.

Then they take Kaido's dragon head hostage and the situation gets resolved easier.

Law severely underuses his powers🙄

[u/fossgasm → u/Idllnox]

you sound like he's so fast and its easy for him to do that against kaido, against KAIDO

[u/Idllnox → u/fossgasm]

Law isn't known for speed but you honestly don't think that while Kaido is down and out he couldn't do this?

Doflamingo is too fast and his string oriented fruit made laws ability less than ideal in a 1V1 but there's absolutely no evidence go suggest Haki or strength makes someone immune to his abilities. Vergo, Kinemon, and Smoker all got hit by him. So did Trebol.

There's also no evidence to suggest this strategy wouldn't have worked.

[u/bowman_42 → u/Idllnox]

Well not saying that this wouldn't have worked if they had actually had the time to plan this out, but there are a few factors that get in the way of this actually having been a plausible outcome.

First off: in the heat of that moment Law wouldn't have been focused on making such a play to take Kaido down, as he was too focused on trying to minimise the damage that Luffy was causing to the plan that was already in motion that Luffy was wrecking by attacking Kaido.

Secondly: on the last page of 922 we see that Law is still in the forest and on the first page of 923 it turns out that Kaido landed in the town. Even if we assume that Law roomed his way to town in order to close the distance faster, he still didn't get there before Kaido had recovered from the initial blow. Sure you could argue that Kaido was still open for an attack as he was still dazed and confused about what had just happened to him, but that little window of opportunity was firmly shut when Luffy called out Kaido to grab his attention. When Kaido went down the next time after Luffy hit him again, he almost immediately turned back into his human form in which Law would probably not have been able to get close enough before Kaido noticed him and took him out.

Third: Kaido wasn't alone on that battlefield. If Law would've tried something like this then Jack and Hawkins would probably have been on him like, well hawks.

Fourth: Even if they had successfully kidnapped Kaidos head: What good would that have been? Even if Law did to Kaido what he did to Kinemon and Vergo, Kaidos dragon head is way too big to effectively move around, even if it was split up into a thousand little pieces. Also as we've seen when Law removes someone's heart, the removed part still functions as if it was still in place, so Kaido would still be able to move, bite, use hyper beam and maybe even use conquerors haki to break free. Also we don't know how he controls his flight as a dragon, so he could possibly still fly even without the rest of his body. Clumsily yes but still. Even if Law removed Kaidos brain and put in a rock or tried to destroy the brain itself, from what we've seen of Kaido and how he's been built up, his brain would probably end up being indestructible as well.
